Press Release: The 21st Annual Sarasota Community Baby Shower

FOR IMMEDIATE Release

Healthy Start Coalition and Kiwanis Club of Sarasota sponsor

“The 21st Annual Community Baby Shower”

Free Event that Supports New Moms and Families this Saturday at the Boys and Girls Club

Sarasota – Saturday, May 16, 2015:

Calling all pregnant women, new moms, and their families! The 21st Annual Sarasota Community Baby Shower is this Saturday!

On Saturday, May 16th from 10:00 am – 12:00 p.m., The Healthy Start Coalition of Sarasota County is partnering with the Kiwanis Club of Sarasota to present the 21st Annual Sarasota Community Baby Shower. All local pregnant women and new families (with infants up to 1 year old) are invited to this fun and FREE event, held at the Lee Wetherington Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota, 3100 Fruitville Road in Sarasota.

This event is held annually to provide education, support, and gifts to pregnant women and new families. Exhibitors from more than 25 local health organizations will provide information and giveaways to attendees. Dozens of raffle and door prizes will be given away throughout the morning, including pack-and-plays, high-chairs, and strollers, donated by the Kiwanis Club of Sarasota. Guests will enjoy healthy snacks and refreshments sponsored by Whole Foods Market, and a Photo booth sponsored by MyDJ Entertainment.

“The Community Baby Shower is a great way for pregnant women and new families to find out about all of the great local support available to them” said event organizer, Ciera Coleman. “It’s truly a one-stop shop for local resources, organizations, and businesses that help pregnant women and new families in our community.”

Activities will be available for children, including face-painting by Erin Ernst, and a Kid’s Area sponsored by Children’s World of Sarasota. A “Diaper Derby” race will be held for crawling infants, with the winners receiving a generous supply of diapers donated by Whole Foods Market.

For quotes and more information, please contact Ciera Coleman, Event Organizer, at (941) 373-7070 ext. 303.
